Diversified Farming.

Evidence is accumulating showing
that stock.growing and diversified
farming is the sole route to success
in other sections, and the rule will
hold good so far Us Dakota is concern.
ed. In illustration OF this fact it is
stated that there are five banks in
sheboygan county, Wis, one of the
great dairy counties of the state, with
deposits from farmers alone amount.
ing to $l,500,000! This statement is
vouched for by gentleman who evi.
IDENTIFY knows whereof lie speaks. He
also says that in the early history of
the county an exclusive growing and
selling of small grains impoverished
the people. The great change noted
has been made by adapting new meth
DDS to new conditions; rotating diver
styling, concentrating the products of
the farm into meats, milks, butter.
etc, and retaining the fertility of the
soil instead of "sellingit it by the bush.
ell" The experience gained by those
people should profit our settlers.
Some settlers have taken steps toward
prosperous future by investing in
young stock. One farmer we have in
mind took the price he intended to
pay for a self.binder. and invested il
in young stock, rightly reasoning that
his investment should increase in
value, and that it should be more
profitable to hire his grain cut, as the
annual interest on the machine would
pay for all the grain he has cut, be-
sides saving the wear and tear of the
machine. The Pioneer was disposed
to pat him on the back and exclaim in
the words of the poet: "Plato, thou
reasoneth well!"-Bowdle Pioneer.

Money in Sheen.

No farmer in central Dakota can af.
ford to run his farm without owning
at least twenty-five sheep. They will
not cost to exceed 81 per annum per
head. They will return $3.50 per
head in wool. They will net $3.50 per
head increase, thus leaving so far !,
net profit of 80 per head. Then again
twenty-five sheep will keep l0O.acre
farm free from wild buckwheat, a
thing that cannot be done in any other
way, except by an immense amount
of labor and quite an outlay of money,
thus directly increasing the crop of
wheat several bushels to per acre and
passing an other large amount to
their credit. There is no experiment
to try. No place i'll the world will
sheep do better than here. Farmers
mix your business it will pay you.--

The monthly circular letter from
Commissioner of immigration Nc.
Clure, shows a steady increase in IA
yorable crop prospects throughout the
territory. The sections visited by
hail were small in area, and damage
slight. OF the wheat crop for 1887,
the commissioner says:
Although, as ia general thing the
straw was short, yet all reports agree
i'll saying that the heads were well
filled with plump, heavy kernels. 1t
is believed the present wheat crop of
the territory will grade No l, with
scarcely a locality excepted. From
the reports received by this office
during the growing season the area
sown to wheat is estimated to exceed
by twenty per cent that of last year
which would make an approximate
wheat area for 1887 of $500, ,38o acres.
1t is fair to presume from the reports
of farmers as already published, and
from the fact that the present season
has been so generally favorable, that
the yield for the territory will be at
least an average one, and that the
wheat crop of 1887 will run consider
ably over 100000 bushels. The
lowest estimate so far received of
the seasons yield of wheat in any one
locality is ten bushels per acre, and
the highest forty. Take the most
conservative estimate and Dakota s
wheat crop. now being harvested,
will exceed any previous record of
the territory. or for that matter, the
record of any state in the union, and
will amount to more than one-tenth
of the entire crop of the United
States in 1885.
The rainfall in Dakota during the
month of July, covering period of
seven years from and including 1881.
has averaged 1923 inches. The pres.
ent year we have had 4.28 inches, be.
ing nearly one inch in excess of the
average; more than double the
amount of rainfall during the same
month of last year, and more thar
fell in July of any previous year a:
shown by the records of the U. S. sig
nal service, if we except the yea
